Spread the gluten-free flour blend on a flat plate.
💡The gluten-free flour blend dries the surface, the egg sticks to it and holds whatever comes next. Without the gluten-free flour blend, the coating tends to peel off during frying.
5
Beat the eggs in a wide bowl.

💡Work with one "dry" hand for the dry coating and one "wet" hand for the egg, so your fingers don't get caked in layers of coating.
6
Spread the crumbs on another flat plate.
7
Pass each croquette at the coating stations, in order,, pressing lightly so the coating sticks on all sides.
8
Lift the croquettes out onto paper towels.

💡Don't touch the balls while frying: if the coating opens, the melted cheese runs out into the oil.
💡Keep the oil at 170–180°C (340–355°F): too cold, and the food soaks up oil; too hot, and it browns outside before the inside cooks. Without a thermometer, dip the tip of a wooden spoon in the oil: when medium bubbles form around it right away, the oil is hot enough.
💡Don't overload the oil: every piece that goes in cools it down. Fry one piece as a test, then the rest in several batches, and transfer to paper towels.
